PARIS // COP21: SHEPARD REVEALS EARTH CRISIS GLOBE, LOCATED IN THE CENTER OF THE EIFFEL TOWER
Shepard unveils his latest work “Earth Crisis:” a giant sphere suspended between the first and second floor of the Eiffel Tower, a call to action to address the global environmental crisis.
Visible from November 20 to 26th, it is a strong artistic gesture for Paris that will host the World Conference on climate change COP21.
“My political stance on protecting the planet is driven by my concern for the quality of life for future generations.
I’m not an alarmist, but I do think people need to understand that we are facing an earth crisis. I think it is exciting that the globe provides different experiences for the viewer from a distance and up close while living in the heart of the Eiffel Tower.
I hope the Earth Crisis Globe appeals visually but also generates a needed conversation about the fate of our planet.” -Shepard
